The Coolest Names In Science

When I read a journal article or a book chapter there are always certain names that are really freakin' catchy. One of my favorites is James Intriligator, who is a experimental psychologist at the University of Wales Bangor.
This is the coolest restaurant name, what are some of your favorite scientist names? Make sure you let us know what field they are in as well.

I can't decide whether Ray Jackendoff (linguist, Tufts) has the coolest or most unfortunate name in cognitive science.

Actually... I was considering that name for a bit - but seriously.. The Intiligator beats him out no problem(no pun intended..hah..).
I like the name Rips as well (category/analogy type stuff)

Yeah, "Lance Rips" sounds like the beginning of a sentence.
